*Shatter*
After simply pushing at the egg for a while it suddenly shatters and I see a baby dragon in front of me.
It was a lot bigger than I expected and it was a beautiful obsidian color and it's scales shined when the light hit them.
It slowly creates closer to me a face of curiosity making cooing noises all the while.
I knew what needed to happen, I had to initiate the bond so I reached out with my hand to touch the Dragon.
As soon as I touched the dragon's tiny head, a sharp pain shot through me along with a blinding flash of light and before I knew it I'd passed out.
(In deep slumber)
I knew I was no longer awake, but I could feel all the changes taking place inside my body.
I could feel my wizard blood churning and flowing intensely and I could feel as if I was growing more and more powerful.
It wasn't like I felt my body getting stronger, it was more like I felt my magic growing very quickly.
I could feel every vein of my body pulsing with power and I had never felt such an intense pressure inside my blood before almost as if my body couldn't contain my growing magical energy.
Right as that thought entered my brain, I started to panic Internally as I thought I was going to explode from the mass of magical energy flowing crazily through my body, I then felt my body getting stronger and stronger as if trying to contain my magic.
This process went on for what felt like days but was probably hours and I woke up with a gasp in the grass field that was outside my cabin where my workshop was.
I felt amazing, better than I'd ever felt before. I took a deep breath and it was like I could smell more, hear more, all my senses were dialed up to another level.
I then smelled a horrendous smell and I followed my nose to a pile of what looked like black blood and pools of flesh.
I somehow knew that they were once a part of me and I quickly conjured a mirror and what I saw had me staring blankly for a while.
I saw...me. But, it wasn't the me I remembered. I was taller, more muscular, but not only that, I seemed to have gotten younger. By my estimate, I looked to be in my 20s again or maybe even teens, if the beard wasn't there.
After checking my body, clenching and unclenching my hands I felt strong. I then felt my magical power.
It felt for lack of a better word, heavy. Yes, if I had to describe my magical power, it felt like a pressure was constantly released in my surroundings and even the very air seemed to be affected.
Then, just as it started, it stopped. I felt no different than I did before I came to Alagaësia.
I then looked at my hand and I saw my mark as a dragon rider. It was always cool to imagine it in the books and see it in the movie, but I have to say, mine looks awesome.

'I can't believe how much I've changed' I thought to myself.
'You're not the only one.' A voice said in my head as I looked around for the origin only to hear the sound of wind in the air and I saw a dragon fly down to land in front of me.
'H-how are you so big? How long was I asleep?' I questioned internally so shocked even my mind was stuttering.
In front of me was a large obsidian dragon that was probably at least a foot or two larger than Saphira from the movie.
'I do not know. When we formed the bond, I felt a surge of energy enter me and it caused me to grow very quickly.'
[AN: BTW the dragon's voice sounds like Ian McKellen.]
I paused then I adopted a posture I often did when thinking about magic where I had three fingers on my face, one was placed on my lower lip, another sqeezing the side of my mouth and the last hung near the bottom of my chin and I had one arm resting over the middle of my torso and the other hand resting on that arm.

'I suppose it makes sense. I am someone who not only has a magical bloodline so Wizarding blood flows through my veins, but I have also spent the better part of 60 years using mediation to bolster my magic and my lifeforce and it was also 40 plus years of lifeforce before I ever got the meditation technique. I must've been saturated with magical energy from the 50 something years and a portion of that transferred to you during the bonding process.' I thought animatedly.
'That's certainly plausible, and it's nice to see that my rider is intelligent. I am, however, confused about a few of your words.' My dragon replied having heard my thoughts.
'Which parts? I'll be glad to explain things to you.' I replied.
'You spoke as if you already had magic prior to becoming my rider but humans don't have magic, are you an elf, or a half-elf?' He asked.
'No. Sigh...This will be hard to explain. How about another question maybe I can answer that first?' I proffered as I was unsure how to explain things.
'Certainly, you mentioned time passing as if you were implying that you were at least 90 years old, but you don't look a day over 23.' He commented.
'Hmmm thats not easy to explain either. Hang on, I should be able to share my memories with you yes?' I questioned.
'From the way our bond has manifested, that should be easily accomplished. We have formed a very strong bond and It feels almost intrinsic.' He stated.
'Very well, I will share my memories with you, but first I shall introduce myself. My name is Robert Black, Wizard, Sorcerer, magical scholar. Although i will be going by Magnus Blackfire when introducing myself to others.' I said.
'It is nice to meet you I do not have a name as of yet, but I trust we can find one for me together in the future.' He replied not caring of the name change.
'Very well.' I said simply as I began to share my memories.
As he watched my memories his face changed to many different expressions, not that any of them were obvious on a dragon's face other than shock, if the widening of his eyes was any indication.
I didn't share any memories other than my magical training in the world of Stardust, my time in The Sorcerer's Apprentice world, and my arrival in this world from then till now.
'That is unbelievable! If I hadn't witnessed it myself, I would have thought I was viewing your dreams. You come from another world and have not only traveled from there to another world, you have traveled here. This is unprecedented to say the least.' He exclaimed internally in shock that slowly turned to confusion once more.
'Wait, I understand you are over 90 years old, but looked 30 years old due to your ability. But why do you look like a young man now? Are you using your shape shifting ability?" He asked.
'No, I am not. Near as I can tell, I shared more than my magical power with you, I must have shared a part of my lifeforce with you, in doing so I physically de-aged to a young man and the rest of my lifeforce went to making my body stronger to handle the increasing magical energy. This could also explain why you grew as much as you did.' I thought animatedly as it was all so fascinating.
'That certainly seems like the most likely reason so you are now the youngest old man in the world.' He joked.
'You might be right about that.' I said back with a laugh.
I then saw him looking around.
'It is marvelous, what you have created here. And astonishing to think this is all inside a small suitcase as you call it.' He said.
"Yes, magic is wonderful." I replied, this time out loud.
"So, do you know how long I was unconscious?" I asked.
'Near as I can tell, two weeks has passed by, but there is no night and day here.' He said.
'You got that big in only two weeks?' I questioned shocked as it took Saphira months to grow into the size she was in the movie, and he was that big after two weeks.
'Oh no, I grew to this size after 2 days.' He replied.
I was to stunned to think for a few seconds.
'It was definitely the lifeforce that was shared with you that caused it. If you truly took over 60 years worth of lifeforce, the growth isn't that surprising I thought as incredulously as it is still crazy to me that I am in my 20s again.
Just I was going to say to get ready to leave, I sensed something passing through my wards.
Well I better see who that is.
